If you wanna make the move
then you better come in
it´s just the ability to reason
that wears so thin
living and dying and the stories that are true
secrets to a good life is knowing when you´re through

black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac
the boy´s a time bomb

he´s back in the hole where they got him living
like a rat but he´s smarter than that nine lives
like a cat take him to the youth authority home
first thing you learn is that you got to make it
in this world alone

now he´s gotten out he´s gotten free he´s gotta go
gotta car 21 years old he´s runnin´ from the
bar his pager´s beepin´ he´s got in deep in
whatever he can move on in you know that kid´s a creepin´

in tears come from the razor that´s been tattooed below
his eye his mother cries she knows that he is strong enough
to die he´s rollin´ in the cadillac it´s midnight sunroof is down
three shots rung out the herd´s deal
the new king is crowned.
